I absolutely love capturing cultural celebrations, and recently I had the joy of photographing the Griha Pravesh (Indian housewarming ceremony) of Jyosthna & Chandra in Churton Park, Wellington. This beautiful event was a perfect mix of tradition, family, and vibrant energy—a celebration that truly highlighted the rich heritage of Indian customs.

Capturing Memories as a Wellington Event Photographer
As a Wellington event photographer, my goal is to go beyond just taking pictures—I aim to tell the story of the event, capturing emotion, character, and moments that last a lifetime. At this Griha Pravesh, I focused on candid interactions, ritual highlights, and the joy radiating from every guest. Each photograph reflects the warmth, celebration, and significance of the occasion, creating a lasting record for Jyosthna, Chandra, and their families.
